1T is pleasure to talk to Capt.
D. G. Paul concerning his home and
farm in the country, where he has all
that one courd wish for. If we had a
few more planters like him, our Parish
would shortly be in prosperous fix.
He raises his own sheep, hogs, cattle,
geese, chickens, turkeys, etc, and that
too on very large scale, In this way
he is independent, for he can easily
pick up u batch of either when coming
to town and convert them into money,
after which he can purchase what he
may need. This is the way to do the
thing, says he, and until the rest of
onr planters follow his example, they
will never grow in better circumstan-
css, take our word for it.

JOHN SoENIER HIDING IN CALcA-
sIEU From THE LAW OFFICERS.
gentleman who has just come through
on the Southern Pacific road brings
the intelligence that John Sonnier,
who escaped from the penitentiary
with Detective Boasso, is now hiding
IN the Parish of Calcasien, not fur
from the line of St. Landry, and not
outstanding the reward offered by
Gov. McEnery, no one cares particu-
larly abont seeking this desperado.-
The gentleman says that Sonnier's re-
putation as a fighter is we'll known
thereabouts, and those who could
place their hands on him are afraid to
40 go, as it would be battle to the
death to take him. He is said to be
one of the most desperate and intre-
pid men that ever lived in Southwes-
tern Louisiana, and is most proficient
with his Winchester, shotgun and re-
volver. He is perfectly fearless and
does not value his life, SO that he will
rather die than be taken. Gov. Nc
Emery has offered a reward Of $500
for his capture, but as it is conditioned
on his being taken alive, nobody cares
to make the effort. He knows that
section of the country thoroughly, and
to effect his capture be would have to
he surrounded. - New Orleans Times

CELEsTIALs AND FISH. - There
were eight Cinnamon on Gallon Is
land last year engaged in catching,
curing and shipping fish. Mr.. Woods,
owner of the Island, informs us they
shipped 300 barrels to San Francisco;
thence to China for consumption
From their seines are taken every spe-
cies of fish excepting the catfish, and
placed in salt for two days, just as ia
ken from the water, head, scales and
entrils. At the end of this time they
are taken out of the salt and laid on
mats of plank exposed to the sun.
They are frequently turned from one
side to the other, and after three days
treatment to the sun bath the fish are
completely dried and as solid as a
board, ready for the market. Mr..
Woods says they taste very good when
cooked. He thinks the Celestials APP
ply chemicals in drying them, but they
take particular care that he does aot
know what it is. Next April opera
tons will be resumed.-( Morgan City

he would have to take him up to the
